corporate sponsorship, works or not?

honestly, I really don't know. 


I think maybe it's at certain stage that the corporate sponsorship makes more sense, which is when the company is big and sustainable and they want to be seen doing good stuff. 


though, i know our friends from the industry such as tofurky and field roast also does a lot of food give-away/sponsor for non-profit and vegan organizations, which I definitely applaud.  


we support, and we also appreciate other people's support to us, when it all makes sense. 

Gardein

I do have to say; they are a hard one to compete.

something is wrong, but i don't know what it is

My staff called me again today, and from the conversation i can feel she is worried, but i am not sure what it is.. could it be because we are signing a broker and she feels insecure? or things are moving too slow? 


I wonder. and hopefully i will be able to figure out to keep things running smoothly too

International Trade

I wonder, if it's really because the veg message is really getting out there; all of a sudden we are getting a lot international inquiries.. (or is it because of Alibaba?) 


Are they real or are they scam?


and now I have to deal with international trades.. while we are still expanding the domestic.. but why not? the more the merrier!

I have been away

For a while, mostly because we were moving our warehouse to a new location, still in SOMA, but a bigger one (woohoo for more freezer space, more freezer works lol); and then I took a very vegan trip haha to visit the Loving Huts in Austria and Czech... and have just finally returned. 


It's like keeping my journal (the handwritten one), I have had it for more than 15 years, but this year I am slowing down.. it's either because i don't hand write much any more except when i am on the road and like to write postcards, or it's because things are moving too fast that I just can't keep up with recording them if i miss one day or two.. 


things do move fast i have to say; but during this trip, or after i have returned, I felt a disconnect.  It's the type of disconnect that I actually enjoy and think it's good to have.  There was minimal internet and/or phone on the trip, so I don't have to worry about things and could just enjoy the present. 


I guess the point is, i will try to share as much as I can, and for those who care!  Cheers =D
